Timothy B. Schmit in concert at the City Winery in Nashville
By Ken Paulson
Timothy B. Schmit, veteran of both the Eagles and Poco, opened his new tour at the City Winery in Nashville tonight, following a number of guest appearances during the 2016 Americana Music Festival.
The tour is to promote his new album Leap of Faith, and most of his set was drawn from that album, including the engaging “My Hat” and the radio friendly “Red Dirt Road.”
If the set was short on familiarity, it was long on musicality and harmonies.
Schmit was in fine voice, and he’s put together a good band, with multiple vocalists.
Schmit did dip into the catalog for his big Eagles hit “I Can’t Tell You Why,” plus “Love Will Keep Us Alive,” “I Don’t Want to Hear Anymore” and the Poco classic “Keep On Tryin’.”
